Free Tier Value
This free tier is worth about $2/month because the cheapest paid plan is $2 per tunnel, and the free offer gives one tunnel with a useful but tightly capped monthly allowance. The main limits are the 1 GB bandwidth cap and 30-minute timeout, while the paid plan removes those caps and adds production features like custom domains, IP whitelisting, and SSO. A credit card is not required to start, which lowers friction, but the free tier is still clearly a capped starter offering rather than an uncapped forever plan.
